Solve the following equations and check your results.

1. 3x = 2x + 18

2. 5t – 3 = 3t – 5

3. 5x + 9 = 5 + 3x

4. 4z + 3 = 6 + 2z

5. 2x – 1 = 14 – x

1. 3x = 2x + 18

3x = 2x + 18

⇒ 3x – 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18

Putting the value of x in RHS and LHS we get,

3 × 18 = (2 × 18) +18

⇒ 54 = 54

⇒ LHS = RHS

2. 5t – 3 = 3t – 5

5t – 3 = 3t – 5

⇒ 5t – 3t = -5 + 3

⇒ 2t = -2

⇒ t = -1

Putting the value of t in RHS and LHS we get,

5× (-1) – 3 = 3× (-1) – 5

⇒ -5 – 3 = -3 – 5

⇒ -8 = -8

⇒ LHS = RHS

3. 5x + 9 = 5 + 3x

5x + 9 = 5 + 3x

⇒ 5x – 3x = 5 – 9

⇒ 2x = -4

⇒ x = -2

Putting the value of x in RHS and LHS we get,

5× (-2) + 9 = 5 + 3× (-2)

⇒ -10 + 9 = 5 + (-6)

⇒ -1 = -1

⇒ LHS = RHS

4. 4z + 3 = 6 + 2z

Solution:

4z + 3 = 6 + 2z

⇒ 4z – 2z = 6 – 3

⇒ 2z = 3

⇒ z = 3/2

Putting the value of z in RHS and LHS we get,

(4 × 3/2) + 3 = 6 + (2 × 3/2)

⇒ 6 + 3 = 6 + 3

⇒ 9 = 9

⇒ LHS = RHS

5. 2x – 1 = 14 – x

2x – 1 = 14 – x

⇒ 2x + x = 14 + 1

⇒ 3x = 15

⇒ x = 5

Putting the value of x in RHS and LHS we get,

(2 × 5) – 1 = 14 – 5

⇒ 10 – 1 = 9

⇒ 9 = 9

⇒ LHS = RHS
